I bought medal from Sohrab's son: Shop-ownerMUMBAI: Shop-owner Abdul Wahid said that he had bought the Sohrab Modi's memorabilia directly from Modi's son Mehli a year-and-a-half ago when the latter was in the process of selling the family's Cuffe Parade flat before immigrating to Dubai. "I still have the purchase slip with me as proof," he said. "The stuff was lying with me for such a long time that I had even planned to put an advertisement in the newspapers, so that interested parties could learn about it and come to my shop. But before I could do that, I suddenly got at least ten calls inquiring about the trophy. I don't understand the sudden interest." A star famed as much for his booming voice as his directorial skills, Sohrab Modi was the eleventh recipient of the Phalke award. read more.

Expat Australians welcome Howard's bid for fifth termDubai: Australians living in the UAE have welcomed the news that their long-serving Prime Minister John Howard is to seek another term in office. Howard announced this week he would remain leader of the Liberal party and contest elections scheduled for late 2007. His decision dashed the hopes of finance minister and deputy PM Peter Costello, who claimed recently that Howard now into his fourth term as Prime Minister had promised to step down after two terms. Howard's time in office has been characterised by economic prosperity, but his foreign policy such as his support for the Iraq War and socially conservative views have alienated some voters. Geoff Wheatley, 63, chairman of the Australian Business in the Gulf Group, said 67-year-old Howard's decision to contest the next election was "to be applauded". read more.
